How to fix Smite 2 version mismatch error

Smite 2 is now available for players with the Founder’s Edition following the launch of the 24/7 closed alpha test. Issues are expected as the game is still in development, and the version mismatch error can cause problems.

While the devs will fix many bugs and errors during development, the Smite 2 version mismatch error is not a bug. Instead, it’s the game’s way of informing you there’s an issue with the version of Smite 2 you are trying to play.

We’ve explained the error below and highlighted how you can fix it.

Smite 2 version mismatch error, explained

The Smite 2 version mismatch error occurs when your game is not the same version as the servers—and it usually occurs in two particular situations. Thankfully, both are easy to fix without spending too much time on the problem.

A common reason for the Smite 2 version mismatch error following the launch of the 24/7 closed beta is playing the wrong version of the game. Ensure you are loading into the full Smite 2 game, not the Smite 2 demo you downloaded for previous alpha tests.

Another occasion when the Smite 2 version mismatch error occurs is when an update is available for the game and needs to be downloaded. An update should automatically trigger when launching the game, but occasionally, you may need to update the game manually.

You may need to restart your console or PC to see a new update for Smite 2 appear. This should trigger the automatic download when you attempt to launch the game.
